  • Blackhill FM

    Driving through Glasgow on Thursday late afternoon, I discovered there
    was no Radio Scotland (FM) on the car radio. I then checked R4 and R2
    - no sign of them. I tried Classic FM - nothing. I thought the radio
    must be faulty, the car having been in the garage the day before so I
    tried R5L which was fine (no Caroline though). I assume there must
    have been an outage at Blackhill but I have not seen or heard any
    mention of this. Does this happen very often?

    It might have shown up as a fault on the BBC Reception post code
    checker, I've just looked, if the fault was listed, it's not so it's
    probably too long ago to still be mentioned
